Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for efficiently automating the preparation of accurate alpha matte animations and modified digital videos utilizing polarized light. For example, the disclosed systems obtain a plurality of polarized digital videos portraying an animation of a foreground subject backlit by a polarized light source. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems generate a plurality of corrected polarized digital videos by adjusting intensity values of the plurality of polarized digital videos based on intensity differences across the plurality of polarized digital videos. The disclosed systems generate an alpha matte animation comprising a plurality of alpha mattes from the plurality of corrected polarized digital videos or from the plurality of polarized digital videos. Utilizing the alpha matte animation, the disclosed systems generate a modified digital video by combining the animation of the foreground subject and a replacement background.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for generating an instant mask from polarized input images. A method of generating the mask includes obtaining, by a user interface manager, a set of polarized input images, the set of polarized images including background images depicting a background and subject images depicting a foreground object in front of the background and backlit by a polarized light source, the set of polarized input images including more than two polarized images, each associated with a different polarization angle, determining, by a matte optimization manager, an at least partially polarized reflection on the foreground object based on the set of polarized input images, determining, by the matte optimization manager, an alpha matte based at least on intensity values associated with each of the set of polarized input images such that the alpha matte isolates the foreground object and removes the at least partially polarized reflection, and generating, by a matte generator, an output matte based on the alpha matte.

Abstract: A control system for independent alternating-input (“IAI”) devices includes multiple IAI devices and an analog switch component. The control system may also include a bus-generating component. The analog switch component includes multiple switches configured to connect of disconnect input connection points of the analog switch component and voltage input points of the IAI devices. The analog switch component opens or closes switches, responsive to a digital control signal, to provide voltage signals to the voltage input points of the IAI devices. In some cases, the IAI devices activate or deactivate based on the provided voltage signals. In some cases, the bus-generating component provides a first voltage signal to a first voltage input point of an IAI device, and the analog switch component controls the switches to provide a second voltage signal to a second voltage input point of the IAI device.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems, methods, computer readable media, and devices that can generate accurate augmented reality objects based on tracking a writing device in relation to a real-world surface. In particular, the systems and methods described herein can detect an initial location of a writing device, and further track movement of the writing device on a real-world surface based on one or more sensory inputs. For example, disclosed systems and methods can generate an augmented reality object based on pressure detected at a tip of a writing device, based on orientation of the writing device, based on motion detector elements of the writing device (e.g., reflective materials, emitters, or object tracking shapes), and/or optical sensors. The systems and methods further render augmented reality objects within an augmented reality environment that appear on the real-world surface based on tracking the movement of the writing device.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems, methods, computer readable media, and devices that can generate and present a digital overlay over a view of a tangible object within a display case. In particular, the systems and methods described herein can synchronize a switchable diffuser element with a display screen and one or more light sources to alternate between a scatter state and a transparent state based on a display rate. In particular, the disclosed systems and methods can alternate the display screen between an emissive state (for displaying an emitted digital image) and an attenuating state (for displaying a transparency mask image). By synchronously toggling the display screen and the diffuser element between states, the disclosed systems can present a digital overlay superimposed over a view the inside of the display case.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to non-emissive modular light-diffuser devices that selectively revealing reflective material and that can be utilized in applications ranging from wearable electronics to large format displays. For example, by applying power, the modular light-diffuser devices can switch from a light-scattering state and a non-light-scattering state to reveal reflective material beneath. In particular, a modular light-diffuser device can utilize dual inputs to provide an alternating low-voltage current to a PDLC film layer (e.g., by rotating the direction of electrical polarity), thus, significantly extending the life of the modular light-diffuser device. In addition, multiple modular light-diffuser devices can be grouped and added to objects (e.g., clothing, fashion accessories, or large format displays) to form patterns, designs, and animations based on the modular light-diffuser devices changing states.
